I’m reusing my old media from my old discus tank which had quite a few pest snail in the tank. So Incase any were laying dormant in the media I soaked it in potassium permanganate then boiled it and dried it out in the oven. Lol don’t think anything is surviving that
I could be totally wrong by the way lol but it’s all the stuff I’d try. Also making sure the pipe to the sump is under water a couple inches Atleast to stop it sucking air. Have a search of you tube there are loads of vids about the same problem
You would also be better changing the overflow pipe to a durso which looks like it’s almost there but missing the angled connector. https://www.asap-aquarium.com/pages/how-to-stop-aquarium-overflow-sucking-and-gurgling-noise
Hi Guys,
Just recieved my aquanano 80 Id like to fit a spray bar (moray 480 pump) Im sure I have seen a spray bar and acessory kit for it but im buggered if I can find it have any of you guys seen one anywhere? Im also after a T connector for it so i can attach a loc line to. The only T...
Ah yes that’s them do you know if u can make them shorter or are they fixed length wise? I’ve ordered a aquanano the outlet just seems to blow straight out towards the front glass so want to change it up abit
Was just no thrills stuff from Tesco or wilkos I’d just leave it in there for 24 hours and it would be back to white. What I am curious about tho would a Sodium Thiosulphate solution work just as well as prime seeing as it’s essentially the same thing
Hi guys,
I’ve seen several people use like a sectional adjustable direction nozzle thing one their filter outlets. What are they called and where do you get them?
Cheers

Not sure not really used it in auto can't rem why I set it to manual think it wouldn't let me turn it right up or summut. Didn't get media with mine even tho the site stated it came with it. When questioned the web site argued that the blue and White sponge is what they call media (that's a new...
Dunno I've never bothered and I have discus which can be funny about currents I wouldn't be to concerned tbo. It does do all that tho u have the stream function think it's called and the 12 hour one
U can just buy the lever unit they r about £12 on eBay. I had the same thing happen luckily I had a spare lever unit. I managed to prize the lever with a screw driver. The secret I think to keeping the units working is to lube them with the eheim spray lube every time you maintain the filter...
You know the 2080 has 2 inlet pipes don't you? If u have a limited space that will need to be taken into account. I want a 2080 but don't have enough clearance in my cupboard :0( lol I'd only have 2cm clearance
not strictly true, we make stuff for the armed forces (body armour covers, rucksack, holsters and the like) we send alot of work to romania and lithuania. We have tried sending work to china but the quality isnt anywhere near as good. Worse so if u get them to suply and cut their own material...
Not heard of substrate pro reducing flow myself suppose all media does to an extent but it being porus shouldn't b bad. Bio balls just have abit of a bad rep for not being that great
Ive got the eheim ones which are good but the bristles just arnt stiff enough for some stubborn schlimsh in the pipes. Does anyone know of any stiffer bristled ones?
Wouldn't use carbon my self it doesn't take long to get exhausted I'd rather have more bio filtration than use that, I don't like bio balls ever prefer to use something porous with a larger surface area. In my eheim pro 3e 2076 I have 2 trays of substrate pro and bio mech I think it's called in...
the impeller and shaft look fine tho i have ordered a new one just incase. the only online stuff is the atomiser and thats been there since i had the filter
My filter has developed a few probs and i cant work out why the hell it has started just wandered if anyone else has had the same thing and how can it be sorted. I Contacted eheim days ago but have heard nothing grrr.
It has been working fine since I set it up in november if I ever turned it off...
Cheers I want to add it it the bigger filter I'm still waiting for off ukco2guy cuz it has an extra basket than the one I'm running at the mo so I can put a bag full in there
